Blossom artistically in an immersive training experience, and prepare for the college audition process, at one of the top-ten ranked musical theatre programs in the country!

The Ithaca College Summer Theatre Conservatory is a residential program, from July 6 - July 25, 2025 in the beautiful Finger Lakes of Central New York, where you can focus entirely on your passion and experience a taste of what it is like to be a student at IC.

Our program offers you intensive acting and musical theatre training and prepares you for the college audition process. This is an immersive opportunity to experience rigorous theatrical training in varied disciplines taught by Ithaca College Music, Theatre and Dance faculty.
